All the laws you are talking about and are in favour of are a result of political correctness. You're just using the term incorrectly and in a pejorative sense as trademarked by the Daily Mail. All political correctness does is stop people saying that because a group of Pakistani men abused teenage girls that all *insert racial slur* are paedophiles. Political correctness doesn't stop anyone from arresting the Pakistani men who were paedophiles. Dereliction of duty does that.
oh I dunno, this could set off a whole new trend... like American Football we could come to see the likes of the..... DONNY (tax) DODGERS (Pikeys you see) SHEFFIELD SHIRTLIFTERS HUDDERSFIELD ...well, ****ERS what else. CHESTERFIELD CHUFFERS BRADFORD BUMBANDITS and of course The BARNSLEY BENEFITS
Dereliction of duty driven by a fear of arresting members of a certain community, seemingly due to concerns about the reaction. That is a perverse form of political correctness in my opinion... the notion that it is worse to appear racist than to stop child abuse. The term political correctness is an ever increasing ambiguous term, which is interpreted in different ways to suit the context.
this is why I dislike the term "political correctness" - it is not political, it is about being correct. In this instance it clearly is neither political nor correct.
So in that case criticise people who are misunderstanding what political correctness is. Don't demonise the actual thing that is moving society forward from one that is racist, homophobic and sexist. It's political correctness which is leading to men starting to realise women are not sexual objects who are inferior to men (only just though, see other threads posted today). If anything the dereliction of duty had as much to do with the sexist politically incorrect views of the authorities towards young white working class girls.
Rotherham Sheffield Oxford Rochdale Blackpool Derby All similar MO and all perpetrators from the same ethnic back grounds. And there will be more to come. Bradford, dewsbury, oldham.... Be some arses twitching in the next few months...
Think you'll find(if you can be bothered to read all threads instead of your usual self interpretation) that it was a Tory sympathiser that started laying the blame all other posts were pointing out that he was incorrect. If you want to know about unjust coverups by the establishment TS read thatchers diaries.
This is a genuine question... Do you think that not tolerating a culture where people in positions of responsibility turning a blind eye to very serious crime to avoid being labeled 'racist' is a step back to a bygone era of bigotry and casual racism?
No, people are saying not dealing with serious crime because of fear of being labelled racist (without getting in to the causes of that) is ******* stupid and an abhorrent failure of the victim. But it doesn't mean that idiocy belittles the progression that 'political correctness' (however ill defined ) has brought and continues to bring should be castigated or abandoned. Prosecute crime regardless of race, don't be racist. That's the law. That's why the failure to apply the law is rightly being so criticised. And as the report makes clear there were other factors at play in addition to fear of being labelled racist.
If you think that’s true it seems it’s you that hasn’t read the thread. Nice mention of Thatcher though, utterly irrelevant when it comes to the matter being discussed, but don’t let that stop you. Meanwhile, back in the real world the Labour party are continuing in their desperate attempts to distance themselves from this scandal of their own making, and limit the fallout, by today suspending four members who all held senior roles at Rotherham Council at the time these shocking abuses were being swept under the carpet.
This backs my post about certain posters who come out of the woodwork to TRY and politically point-score. Pathetic.
No I don't, and at no place did I ever said it did, certainly not in the comment by me that you quoted.
You've not yet made a worthwhile contribution to this particular thread, and your comments about the Police Commissioners were bizarre. You shouldn't slag me off just because you're incapable of constructing a rational and informed response. Why don't you read the Rotherham reports findings, then come back to the discussion with your thoughts on what you feel was responsible for Rotherham council turning a blind eye to these issues, which has resulted in literally thousands of children being sexually abused?
1. How is this of Labour's "own making"? 2. I don't see suspending 4 members as "distancing themselves", they are holding individuals to account.
